Marbled Chinese Eggs

Tea and soy infused eggs

Although the snow outside makes it look more like Christmas, it is Easter again. To go with the non-traditional weather we are making some unconventional Easter eggs: Marbled Chinese Tea Eggs. They take little effort and look absolutely stunning. You can use regular eggs or try quail eggs for an even cuter result.

These eggs are super tasty and not only for Easter. They make a great snack or little side dish for a dim sum style dinner; or add them to a salads and stir fries.

Definitely one of my favourite easter ecipes so far! We used to call these Tea Eggs when I was little and my mum used to boil a chicken or some duck in the stock to make our dinner. funny that i rarely cook asian food at home (being chinese) but your gorgeous eggs remind me of how I need to try some of those old home favourites again (and soon!)

Thank you so much!! I made those eggs as part of a dim sum style dinner. I will post some more of those recipes soon, for now you can have a look at the dumpling and asian aubergine recipe. I am also happy to mail you some recipes if you want. Although I have not tried, I think the eggs would go really well as a side dish with many asian type dinners – I am thinking egg noodle base with with roast or steamed chicken in a soy marinade or similar.

By coincidence I actually made them again for a dinner party yesterday – They are so fabulously simple and yet special looking. I just love stuff that you can prepare ahead which allows you to enjoy the dinner together with your guest instead of in the kitchen 🙂
